It will be an invaluable resource for those parishes or dioceses wishing to commemorate this event with local Lutheran parishes.

Pope Francis, with the Catholic and Lutheran Churches will commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation on 31 October 2016 in Sweden. The Catholic-Lutheran commemoration of 500 years of the Reformation is structured around the themes of thanksgiving, repentance and commitment to common witness. The aim is to express the gifts of the Reformation and ask forgiveness for division perpetuated by Christians from the two traditions.
